Plenty to spark interest at Easter rendezvous in Ogden

OGDEN — Poodles were wearing buckskin at Saturday’s Easter Rendezvous, and if you weren’t sure where buckskin came from, you could watch some guy scrape guts from the inside of the hide of a freshly killed deer.

Children watching that said, “EEW!”

But Fort Buenaventura was full of much else to please the ear or eye: a banjo’s strum, white Indian lodges reflected against the lake, the jangle of beads and bells on an intricately decorated Indian dress, some guy wearing a top hat and breechcloth and nothing else, the “whack!” of an ax hitting wood.
